president obama is leading about the handling of taxes. president obama leads mr. romney on nearly every issue polled including standing up for the middle class, foreign policy and medicare. the only issue where romney has an advantage is on the budget and on federal spending where he leads 50 to 45. >>> in what's considered a bit of a preview for the upcoming debates, president obama and mitt romney were both asked about foreign policy in the middle east including about the u.s. relationship with israel. >> the president's decision not to meet with bebe netanyahu, the president of israel when he's here is a mistake and it sends a message throughout the middle east that somehow we distanced ourselves from our friends and i think the exact opposite approach is what's necessary. >> well look i have conversations with prime minister netanyahu all the time and i understand and share prime minister netanyahu's insincestence that they should not get a nuclear weapon. i feel an obligation not pressure but obligation to make sure that we're in close consultation with the i

you hear that in obama's speeches. secondarily, there's fairness but fairness as equality and liberty as liberty from oppression. that's the liberal and moral view. conservatives care about all those things, but fairness is more for them. are you taking out in proportion what you put in? what social conservatives have that liberals don't often recognize is the idea that group loyalty, respect for authority and order and tradition, and a sense of purity or sanctity which you saw in the section on sack religion and blass femy. social conservatives have a broader, moral demand around those issues. >> in 30 seconds there's one thing i'm dying to ask you. you set out as a liberal to write a how to guide for democrats to communicate in politics. when you wrote chapter 8, you had to stop and say i can't call myself a liberal anymore. can you tell me why you came to that? >> in ten seconds and less i tried to explain to liberals. by the time i wrote the book, they're right. both sides are right. left and right are like yin and

. >>> president obama is in new york right now. he will address the united nations general assembly kicking off cha will be an extremely busy day for both candidates mixing policy and politics. but both the president's foreign policy and his schedule are coming under fire. he will not meet with a single world leader while the united nations is in session. that is a big break with tradition. instead, leaving secretary of the state hillary clinton with a nearly nonstop series of meetings including meeting with the leaders of afghanistan, egypt and pakistan. but the president did take an appearance on the talk show "the view." >> i just have a different vision about how we grow an economy. i think that you grow an economy from the middle out, not from the top down. >> and while the president took a shot at mitt romney over the economy, romney was hammering him over foreign policy. insisting the president's comments about bumps in the road in the middle east were out of line. >> these are developments we do not want to see. >> i want t
